New Theatrics
Posted: Wed Mar 20, 2024 7:31 pm
Hi Dennis!
We aways talk about music here, but I would like to know about something different.
My memory is not what it used to be, but I thing someone has already questioned about Alice’s Solo carrier and what musics you like to have played (if I’m imagining this and it only exists in my mind, I blame my medications )
Anyway, for what I can tell, in the early days/ACG days, the theatrics were more vaudeville, more abstract, sometimes related to a song directly but it was different from more recent stage shows Alice has put out in later years.
I mean, compare Good to See You Again AC to Brutally Life, both are very theatrical but a very different approach.
Sometimes Alice has gone to a darker designing (like Brutally Life or Theatre of Death), other tours not so much (Like Psychodrama)
So, in light of this thoughts:
1) Do you think if AC was still a Group, the same thing would have happened? Both in terms of in theatrical Stile and in the heavier, darker tone of the concerts?
2) I don’t know if you have accompanied Alice’s live carrier, I do know that you have seen some of his live shows in later years as sometimes you even joined the band, but from what you know, is there a tour that you wish you were there to make it happen, that you would love to have written? (i mean only on the theatrical part, I know you already answered a million times that for you the band never broke up, you only weren’t invited).
3) If the ACG got back together to do a new tour, a complete show, how do you imagine the theatrics for it?
